Default New track times + pics

Just got back from Gainesville Raceway today. I ran a best of 14.159 which was kind of disappointing. The best part of the day was when I lined up with a C5 Corvette and surprised him with a 0.005 second reaction time. I had the lead until about the end of 3rd gear. I bet he was pissed off haha. Here's some pictures, enjoy. (BTW my car # is 21)


Getting the jump on the 'vette


Getting smoked by a muscle car...I think it was a Chevelle but it was gutted and had no badges.

Check out the Reaction Times!

How was your traction with the gears and all. Great reaction times by the way.

I can't even read the time slip. Write it out?

Looks like you need some work on your shifting. [8D]

Thanks guys...

Not trying to make excuses, but does it make a big difference if my tank was 3/4 full? People were telling me I should've went with 1/4 tank. By the way, Florida weather is disgusting, it was 80+ degrees and humid.

I don't think I need to work on my shifting as much as my launches because with drag radials and 4.10's I couldn't pull a 60 foot under 2 seconds. Maybe my burnouts were too short, I don't like to abuse my car.
I launched at 3000 rpm for every one of these runs, maybe I shoulda went higher.

The first timeslip:
R/T .075
60' 2.068
330 6.024
1/8 9.188
MPH 77.70
100011.897
1/4 14.159
MPH 99.97

second timeslip:
R/T .005
60' 2.128
330 6.197
1/8 9.413
MPH 77.15
1000 12.153
1/4 14.425
MPH 100.94 (finally broke 100)

Its not abuse. Its getting ready to race. Theres no reason to have drag tires if you arent gonna use them. You should be about 1.8 60ft;s with that setup. How were you launching? Were you dumping the clutch?

I just edited my comment, but every launch was at 3k rpm slipping the clutch.
